In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in South Hampstead and put petrol in a diesel elegant Audi A3 hire car by mistake.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
